Hey all, here's a little explanation I got from the mastermind behind the device:

"Imagine you're recording sound to a tape and reading it out at a later point, with a read-head that can be moved a little to the left and right, alongside the tape. The modulation signal we have in Chorus would then literally control that position. A sine wave would therefore lead to a movement of the readout head that varies in speed, while a triangle wave leads to a movement of the readout-position at a constant speed, which just leads to a temporary constant pitch change, for the time the modulation goes up- or downwards along the waveform”
